‘A’ walks: start North, then left, left again, then right, again right, and once more left. After this sequence, which direction is ‘A’ walking?

Difficulty: Easy

Correct Answer: West

Explanation:


Introduction / Context:
This is a pure orientation trace with multiple relative turns, starting from North.



Given Data / Assumptions:

  • Start facing North.
  • Sequence: Left → Left → Right → Right → Left.


Concept / Approach:
Apply the turns stepwise to the current facing and record the result after each.



Step-by-Step Solution:
North → Left = West.West → Left = South.South → Right = West.West → Right = North.North → Left = West.Final facing = West.



Verification / Alternative check:
Combine pairs: Left+Left from North is a 180° to South; Right+Right from South returns to North; one more Left yields West.



Why Other Options Are Wrong:
East/South/South-East do not match the final West orientation.



Common Pitfalls:
Losing track mid-sequence; writing down each intermediate helps.



Final Answer:
West
